Speculation about Taylor Swift’s potential appearance in Marvel Studios’ Deadpool 3 has been circulating for some time, and recent developments make this possibility even more likely. Deadpool 3 was officially announced after Disney’s acquisition of Fox in 2019, marking the transition of Ryan Reynolds as the first X-Men franchise hero to join the MCU. With the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, fans have been eager to learn which other characters from Fox’s X-Men universe might make cameos in Phase 5’s Deadpool 3.
Numerous actors from Marvel’s cinematic history have been rumored to appear in Deadpool 3, including Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Wesley Snipes (Blade), Channing Tatum (Gambit), and previous members of Fox’s X-Men team. While the specifics of these cameo appearances have been kept secret, a recent video featuring Deadpool 3’s director Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Taylor Swift has sparked renewed speculation about Swift’s potential role in the film.
The video, shared on Twitter by NFL insider Dianna Russini, shows the Deadpool 3 trio and Taylor Swift attending a game at MetLife Stadium. This has reignited rumors that Swift may have a role in Deadpool 3. Fans have long anticipated Swift portraying Dazzler in the MCU, and this video has fueled speculation that she could make her superhero debut in Phase 5’s Deadpool 3.
Dazzler, also known as Alison “Ali” Blaire, is a mutant with the ability to convert sound waves into light and energy beams. In the Marvel Universe, she is a high-profile pop star, making her a perfect fit for Swift. Dazzler is celebrated as one of Marvel’s most powerful female heroes and an LGBT icon. While the character was briefly portrayed by Halston Sage in X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Swift’s involvement could provide more depth to the character.
The fact that Taylor Swift was seen with Shawn Levy, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman following the end of the WGA strike and the potential conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA strike suggests her involvement in Deadpool 3. While no official confirmation has been made by Marvel Studios or Swift herself, fans are eager to see Swift as Dazzler in the MCU.
Swift’s potential role as Dazzler in Deadpool 3 could have a significant impact. The film’s release in 2024 may rejuvenate interest in the MCU, with the return of Reynolds, Jackman, and other characters from Fox’s X-Men franchise, offering a grand farewell. Taylor Swift’s inclusion in Deadpool 3 would further enhance its appeal, given her immense influence and status in pop culture.
Moreover, Swift’s appearance as Dazzler could pave the way for a more prominent role in the MCU’s future. If she portrays the MCU version of Dazzler, distinct from the previous X-Men portrayal, Swift may become a pivotal character in the MCU, setting the stage for exciting developments in the cinematic universe.
